Could someone explain to me how/why comodity traders can effect the price of things like food and oil without a hint of regulation?
TIA

Re: 'Stros
Cubs have always sucked. I understand what you're saying, and it may turn out that way again this year. There just seems to be something "different" this year. You're right it's a long season, injuries, slumps, god knows what else. If the Cubs are able to pull off a couple of moves to sol...
Re: 'Stros
You'll be buying your friend's dinner this year, me thinks (unless Kurt-fuckin-Bavoqua Jr is on the stros). I'm not really one to jump into those outrageous predictions, and I won't start here but... I don't know. I've been a fan since probably '78 or so, and I really do think this team has a seriou...
Re: 'Stros
TRUST ME, I'm well aware it's still the Cubs.
I don't know they seem to have a pretty good mix of young players and guys who have been around for a while. I don't know... it just seems "different" from some of their past teams. A tweak here or there and...who knows?

To be fair, the increased size of his head may just be a result of an abnormally large Herpes blister.
Re: 'Stros
Stats. are fun! I found these numbers a little surprising. Stats are for the Cubs compared to all MLB First or tied for first in- Wins O.B.P RBI Runs Second or tied for second in- batting average walks total bases hits 4th in- slugging percentage 9th in HRs Their pitching has been better than expect...

Re: Pope comes to America
If you have even an inkling of excuse-making ability for a pedo-stained organization, then yes, I'm holier than you. No excuse making or justification, just not going to lump the entire Church in with the actions of a small percentage of sickos. I'll leave that to the holier than thou dumbfucks lik...

Re: French Lick, IN
Circa 1982m 83, 84, whatever, a few friends and I went on a Can-U-Trip in McCormick State Park. I was pretty young, and extremely board with life in the midwest. Long story short, one of my friends went to U of I. He knew someone , who knew someone in the chemistry department that gave him this new ...

Good god is it possible that you're even dumber than I remember? Where's the sun ??? Oh, and we're sitting around 8" of rain now in about 36 hours. Nice. Rain usually comes from clouds. Clouds are generally somewhere between the earth's surface and the sun. Thus it is reasonble to assume that ...

Just checkin in. I see that much is still the same, but I am curious about what I've missed over the last year or two. WTF I'm a Cub fan and it's not even April yet so of course all is good. I'm guessing that come August (more like June), you Astro fans won't be feeling the same way. (I'm not used t...

Well thank you War Wagon! I was afraid I might have been stuck in these message boards forever. Thank goodness that a smack warrior such as yourself has seen fit to free me from these terrible bonds.

I certainly wouldn't consider myself anything like the prodigal son, but I did used to enjoy these boards quite a bit. I took a couple of years off and just recently stopped back by to see what that particular group of hilarious, obnoxious, inciteful, spamming, bunch of ne'er-do-wells was up to. I s...
